Reviews

"A direction so forthright it borders on the criminally invasive... it's difficult not to want to see his third feature right now because he's a man with a mission and a message, and the determination to tell his tale. Rumley's what film-making should be all about."

Film Review - Neil Corry

"Veers unpredictably from high humour to despair... Rumley coaxes corking, in-yer-face performances from his cast, making The Truth Game an energetic, provocative and caustic sample of Big Smoke realism. Entertaining and eminently watchable."

Total Film - Dan Rider

"A raw, frank, eminently naturalistic thumbnail snapshot of how people live with themselves and their intimates, here and now... a work that stands on the vivacity and nuance of its writing and performances."

Time Out - Nick Bradshaw

"Without feeling the need to make his characters likeable, he (Simon Rumley) does - rather like Richard Linklater, Whit Stillman or even Eric Rohmer - manage to get under their skin... Perceptive and compulsively watchable."

BFI - Geoff Andrew

"Rumley has potential in Spades"
